I am called the Madpiper for a couple reasons, I can play some wicked bagpipes. I will also travel the distance. Living in Stockton and driving to San Diego or to Washington to play. But I also offer the best bagpipe sound that you only hear in Movies. I play the Highland Bagpipes, Scottish Smallpipes, Irish Bagpipes, Irish whistles and trumpet(for Taps or the Wedding March). I give 100% of my self to every performance, I am one of the top pipers in area. If I am not able to play for you, I know other top pipers that will be able to. My wife also plays the bagpipes, amongst other instruments and we can also play gigs together. On top of that, we also have a cellist and pianist.
Abe absolutely made my mom's 75th birthday party unforgettable! He played the bagpipes for over 30 minutes and brought so much energy and joy to the celebration. Everyone loved it!
Abe was also a fantastic sport. He interacted with the guests, took requests, and even kept playing through some unexpected rain. That dedication really showed his commitment to making the party special.
If you're looking for a talented bagpiper who will go the extra mile (or weather!), then Abe the Madpiper is your guy! Thanks again, Abe, for making my mom's birthday so incredibly memorable.

Abe was wonderful. Friendly,talented and was the hit of the party. I would recommend him !!
Abe, and his band - The Argyle Shamrocks, gave a wonderful performance at the museum for one of our 1st & 3rd Thursday events. Crowd loved the show and we had quite a few compliments for such a fantastic show. Beautiful music in a beautiful setting!
He was great very professional and greeted us as soon as he got there. He played beautiful every one loved it as I was burying my brother. Even when my husband ask that question does wear anything under his kilt and he didn't blink a eye and told him why and it surprised him Thank you for the great piper mad Dog
Sincerely Judy Esquivel
Abe was awesome! He hung out with us after he played and and blended in with our friends and family as if he was family! I am glad the the bagpipe player from Fresno, that I had booked for 6 months, cancelled on me 13 days before the event because Abe followed through and made my dads 88th party a memory forever!
Wow... all I can say is Wow! The performance was amazing and he knows his music. After Abe did his music he hung around with our family and friends talking about his Scottish experience. I now consider Abe as a friend and wven family! I can't say enough! My 88 year old paps was in tears the whole hour Abe played!!!
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
Thank you so much Ted. It was truly a Honor to play for your Dad and family. You guys made me feel like home and it was a great experience in all. Thank you, friends for sure buddy.
Very professional. Even being thrown an unintended curveball, Abe did an outstanding job and made our ceremony very special. I sincerely hope to have him play again next year. Thank you Abe! Leigh
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
Thank you Leigh, I was glad that everything worked out. I would gladly play again next year 😊

Abe played for my father's memorial service. Abe was so responsive to my texts and phone calls. He was flexible with what we needed. He can also play other instruments which is wonderful. I highly recommend him.
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
Thank you Julia for having me play my music for your family.
How wonderful to have a piper play for our staff meeting following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Abe played "The Flowers of the Forest" also know as "The Floo'ers o' the Forest" magnificently - the solo bagpipe version traditionally played at funerals and remembrance ceremonies. You need a bagpipe, the Madpiper is your man.
Abe bagpiped a variety of Scottish music for two hours of pure enjoyment. Guests of over 25 were mesmerized and thrilled with his style and professionalism. Thanks Abe. We couldn't not have had a 90th Scottish Birthday Party without you.
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
Thank you so much for having me play for your special birthday. I enjoyed every minute of it. 😊
Abraham was responsive, prompt, friendly, kind and so easy to work with. He added such a beautiful dimension to our fundraising event at school. He looked great and sounded fantastic. Even our cool senior guy students begin dancing as he played and everyone just enjoyed themselves immensely.
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
It was fun to play for the students, when the senior class starting dancing and doing a line dance. I knew they enjoyed it, once again it was a lot of fun playing for everyone and thank you for the kind words.
Abe was very prompt and professional. Highly recommend
Response from Abe the Madpiper:
